Product Description

2/3WT Spool of Echo Ion Fly Reel

Questions & Answers

Is this a complete reel, including the spool?

This is an ad for a spool that is no longer in use.

Is this the entirety of the film? Isn't that what it says on the tin?

This reel has served me well for a number of years. The only caution is to avoid dropping the reel because it is prone to dents. This is a good fly reel to have on hand as a backup or as a first reel.

I almost bought because of the deceptive ad. Is it just a spool?

If you're new to fly fishing, the distinction between selling just the reel and selling the spool and reel can be perplexing, but it's a common occurrence in the fly fishing industry.

Is this only applicable to the spool? Isn't it the whole thing?

This is solely for the purpose of the spool.

Selected User Reviews For Echo Ion Reel

I already like my Echo Ion 6wt reel, but now that I know I can get extra spools for it for a reasonable price, I like it even more
5/5

This spool is for a full sinking line, while the other spool I have for this reel is for a one-strand sinking line. It was given to me with a Spey setup. I'm going to get a new spool for my 6wt Echo rod and another for a regular floating fly line. Reel will be capable of performing any task I require.

Great Reel for the Money I like how easy it is to adjust this reel and how light it is for balance
5/5

If you don't handle the reel gently, light aluminum will always cause problems. I have a variety of sizes and duplicates (fish from the same family). For skagit, these are my go-to reels.

A REEL IS NOT A REEL
3/5

This irritates me greatly. This isn't a reel, so don't call it that. I'm now the proud owner of a spool of thread. What will I do with just a spool of yarn? I'm also having trouble finding the drag knob on the internet. If you're looking for a reel, don't waste your time.

The cap should not be completely unscrewed
4/5

I'm sure I'm not the only one who did this, but when I first went to install the new spool, I thought I had to completely unscrew the cap. I was about to toss them both and get something else, but it turns out you don't have to unscrew it. Simply loosen the screw until the spool comes free. whew. I was just thinking about the cap and the o-ring. In the river, a ring has dropped. br>br>I ordered the '8/9' one, thinking it was for the ION reel marked '8/10,' which it was. br>br>Right now, Cabelas has the '8/10' on sale for 79 dollars. However, there are no spools to be found.
